ABSTRACT
Conditions of ankle instability, peroneal tendon tears, and stress fractures of the lateral metatarsals are commonly encountered in a clinical foot and ankle practice. Evaluation of the supporting foot structure is critical to prevent failure of index procedures. The prominence of the subtle cavus foot is now a recognized entity and must be properly diagnosed and addressed surgically.

UNLABELLED: Osteochondroma, which is also known as exostosis, is the most common benign bone tumor. Although foot and hand surgeons frequently encounter the subungual exostosis, exostoses commonly localize to other areas of the skeleton as well. In this review, we describe the clinical and diagnostic imaging characteristics of benign bone tumors and, in particular, the osteochondroma and its surgical management. We also report the case of a patient who experienced an unusual pedal digital osteochondroma-like lesion. LEVEL OF CLINICAL EVIDENCE: 4.
